![]() ![]() Putting aside that one flaw, the rear buttons are the star feature on these controllers. This “hack” is a case-by-case basis since not every game lets you remap the buttons. It’s a workaround, though I doubt I’ll go through that type of setting gymnastics with every game. For example, in Rogue Company, I remapped the right shoulder button to the left one I then assigned it to the left rear button. The manual says you can rebind an input via a game’s controller settings. Sadly, it’s not possible to reassign inputs from the opposite controller, so you can’t assign the “A” button to the left controller or vice versa - that would have been a big sell for lefties if it could. I didn’t think I would use this feature since I couldn’t imagine a real use-case scenario where it would be useful, but I was quickly converted. The rear buttons won’t be as useful in every game, but the option to experiment with alternative button layouts is refreshing. The rear buttons may not be as useful in every game, but they can be game-changing if used correctly. While I wouldn’t doubt anybody for being skeptical when it comes to joystick drift, Hori’s Split Pad Pro controllers don’t seem to be plagued with drift in a way that I find concerning. ![]() Anecdotally, my brother bought this controller back in 2019 to replace his drifting Joy-Cons he’s used the Split Pad Pro controllers since then and hasn’t experienced any joystick drift. If your Split Pad Pro controllers show signs of joystick drift, this post has instructions on how to fix it by simply dissembling the controller and cleaning the joystick area with compressed air or isopropyl alcohol. Looking on Reddit and other forum sites, I’ve mostly found posts with users saying they haven’t experienced it. While I haven’t tested the controllers extensively enough to say definitely joystick drift isn’t a problem, I haven’t been able to find much to the contrary (joystick drift can happen on any controllers, especially with heavy use). (For what it’s worth, I’m aware that the Switch Lite has a proper D-pad and the Switch (OLED model) also doesn’t for obvious separation reasons.) Hori’s Split Pad Pro don’t seem to be plagued with drift. Saying a controller comes with a D-pad should be as much of a selling point as saying a car has seat belts, but here we are. It’s not as good as the one on the Switch Pro Controller due to it being slightly mushier, but it’s still better than having four buttons instead. ![]() The Split Pad Pro controllers don’t reinvent the wheel, but they do have a real D-pad. If you like the Joy-Con’s button placement, there’s no need to worry. The Hori Split Pad Pro is much larger than the Joy-Cons, but it’s extremely comfortable, especially for larger hands. ![]()
